Can varicocele be surgically treated?

Patient's question:

Suffered for over a year, poor sperm quality, and had discomfort in the groin and scrotum. Ultrasound has confirmed moderate varicocele on both sides. What kind of help is desired: varicocele wants microsurgery.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the diameter of varicocele is less than 0.2 cm. A condition of 0.3 cm indicates a more severe varicocele. This condition can easily lead to low sperm survival rates, poor sperm quality, and infertility in men. If you have this condition, it is recommended to seek examination and treatment as soon as possible. The varicocele (high ligation surgery) should be performed. It is also advisable to wear loose underwear and get adequate rest.
